Chapter 089: Stepping on the Wind and Snow

Despite this, Fu Niang was still a little relieved. Even if something happens outside, the master and the young master are in charge, and what they say should not be borne by the young lady. Besides, I heard that Miss was promised to the Zhan guards this time, and in a few years, Miss will get married. Up to now, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not perfect, and they have fiddled with the creepy witchcraft, how can they be a wife when they get married?

The more Fu Niang thought about it, the more worried she became, so she excused herself to go to Xiangyuan to borrow some needle and thread, and was ready to talk to her wife about it.

Hearing Fu Niang talk about her worries, Mrs. Lin also sighed: "Why haven't I worried about this? But it always fails again and again...... You've also seen her make a female celebrity, can that be called a female celebrity? And the gentleman taught her "The Female Commandment" back then, and see what she made it look like? There's one more thing, I'm afraid you don't know yet, right? ”

Fu Niang asked curiously, "What's the matter?" ”

Mrs. Lin said with a smile: "Half a year ago, on the boat to Hangzhou, there was a woman who died begging Bai Lai to give her daughter to Shaofeng. This annoyed Lan'er, and she gave the woman a dumb medicine without saying a word. Alas, I want me Han Suqing to run the family, Suxi is neat, simple and refreshing, but there is no way to take her child, so I can only go with her. After saying that, she sighed lightly, and although her expression was melancholy, it also carried a hint of pride and sweetness.

Fu Niang also stroked her palms and smiled: "Yes, although our young lady is different from other women when she is young, at least we don't have to worry about her - she won't be bullied anywhere." ”

Ah Zi on the side also said jokingly: "Miss Xu's person is a Zhan guard, and the two of them grew up together. What kind of person our young lady is, I think the Zhan guards know best. Fu Niang, why do you have to worry about it? ”

This made Fu Niang laugh dumbly. That's right, the old lady has already planned for the young lady, but she is a slave here and worried, which is really a superfluous move. So the worries in her heart suddenly disappeared, and she said with a smile: "It seems that the old slave is really worried!" Then he stood up and curtled his knees, and said, "Madam, then I will retire first." The young lady is still reading in the room, and I have to go back and wait. ”

Mrs. Lin stopped her again and said, "Don't worry, I just have something else to ask you." ”

"Just ask."

"Well, you have a relative who is a human being?"

Fu Niang was stunned by the question, and then replied: "The old slave has a distant relative who is a human tooth. I wonder if Madame wants to buy some more girls? ”

"Not really." Mrs. Lin smiled slightly, and said, "I'm going to sell someone." ”

Fu Niang was startled, and she didn't know which girl had made any mistakes, so she hurriedly asked, "Who?" ”

"The thrush of your yard."

Fu Niang hurriedly said: "This ...... Isn't this thrush good? Not only is he a martial artist, but he is also careful and safe. I wonder why Madame sold her? ”

"That's why I sold her. You don't need to ask more, just call that relative tomorrow. Okay, you go back. Mrs. Lin waved her hand and signaled that Fu Niang could go out.

So, Fu Niang left Xiangyuan suspiciously. Along the way, she muttered in her heart: What happened to this family? Why did it become so weird when I went to Jiangnan and came back?

At this time, a cold wind blew in the face, and the cold air went straight into the person's neck, so cold that Fu Niang shrank her neck into the cotton jacket again. Looking up at the sky, it was getting darker and darker, as if it was going to snow soon. Fu Niang couldn't help but hurriedly speed up her steps.

Pedestrians on the street outside also seemed to sense that it was about to snow, and they all hurried to their homes. Even the street vendors packed up their goods and hurriedly put away their stalls before the snow fell.

In less than half an hour, snow began to fall from the sky. Although the snow particles were small, they were mixed with the cold wind and swam around, and it hurt to hit people's faces. There are almost no pedestrians on the road, and there are a few passers-by, all of whom are holding their sleeves with their hands in their hands, looking obscene with their heads shrunk and shrunken heads.

Suddenly, several passers-by heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them, and hurriedly hid to the side of the road. I saw a red-maned red rabbit horse carrying a brocade-clothed boy galloping past, leaving behind a swift wind that blew snow particles on the ground. Before the snow particles could hit the ground, they were trampled by more than a dozen pairs of horses' hooves behind them. Gradually, the sound of the horse's hooves went farther and farther away, straight in the direction of the palace.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, more than a dozen people dismounted one after another. I saw that the young man changed into a sedan chair again and went to the palace gate.

It turned out that this young man was Sheng Xuanyuan, who had just returned from disaster relief in the suburbs of Beijing. Recently, it has been freezing cold, and some hungry people from neighboring provinces have poured into the capital. In order to prevent these hungry people from making trouble, the emperor sent Sheng Xuanyuan to deal with the matter. So he ordered people to set up a soup kitchen on the outskirts of Beijing, and gave soup porridge for several days in a row. In the past few days, he has been busy ordering people to build temporary shelters for these hungry people and arranging for them to move in.

Sheng Xuanyuan opened the curtain and looked out, only to see that the snow particles had already turned into large snowflakes and fell overwhelmingly. He breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the project was completed ahead of schedule, otherwise I don't know how many people would freeze to death in this snow tonight.

As soon as the sedan chair stopped, I heard Yan Liu'er shouting outside: "Master, don't hurry down - the ground is slippery, let the slave help you." Before the words fell, I saw that as soon as the curtain was lifted, Yan Liu'er's smiling face was revealed that was red from the cold.

After getting off the sedan chair, Sheng Xuanyuan walked straight to the hall. Yan Liu'er followed at a trott all the way behind as usual, chattering endlessly: "I came here today, and I waited for you for an hour and left." The servant asked him to leave a message, but he refused, saying that he would come back tomorrow. ”

"Hmm." Sheng Xuanyuan didn't look at him.

"Also, I just received a letter from Zhang Guards in Hangzhou......

"Where?" Sheng Xuanyuan suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Yan Liu'er and asked.

"Uh...... Where are you here......" Yan Liu'er hurriedly took out the letter from his arms and said, "The letter you told Zhang Guard is confidential, so the slave ...... as soon as he received it" Before the words fell, the letter had been taken away by Sheng Xuanyuan.

I saw that he quickly read the letter, his thin lips pursed, and he didn't say a word. Then he took two steps to the couch and sat down, squinted his sharp eyes, and said to himself in a voice that was so light that he could barely hear it: "Lin Guanyun, sure enough, he still hides something." ”
